American Paving & Concrete provides professional commercial paving services for businesses, property managers, developers and institutional properties throughout Pennsylvania.
The correct service depends on the condition of the pavement, the strength of the supporting base and the type of traffic using the property.
Each property has different access, traffic and scheduling requirements. We plan the project around the site’s intended use and operating needs.
A professionally installed parking lot can improve vehicle access, traffic flow and the appearance of a commercial property.
Areas used by delivery trucks, waste-removal vehicles, buses or heavy equipment may require stronger pavement construction than standard parking stalls.
Commercial asphalt installation focuses on constructing a stable pavement system from the ground up.
Installing asphalt over weak or poorly compacted material can lead to settlement, cracking and potholes.
Milling removes part of the existing asphalt surface before new pavement is installed.
The milling depth depends on the existing pavement condition and the planned overlay thickness.
Cracks allow water to enter the pavement and reach the aggregate base.
Widespread alligator cracking may indicate structural failure and require patching, resurfacing or replacement.
Potholes can create rough driving conditions, collect water and reduce the appearance of a commercial property.
Temporary filling may address an immediate problem, but full-depth repair is usually more appropriate when the base has failed.
Complete parking lot replacement may be necessary when existing pavement has widespread structural failure.
Replacement allows the old pavement to be removed so the supporting base, grade and drainage can be corrected before new asphalt is installed.
Full-depth repair addresses both the damaged asphalt and the unstable material beneath it.
The failed section is removed, the supporting base is rebuilt and new asphalt is installed and compacted.
Some areas of a commercial property experience more stress than standard parking stalls.
The pavement design should reflect the expected vehicle type, weight and traffic frequency.
Private commercial roads and access lanes may support employees, customers, deliveries and emergency vehicles.
The pavement structure should be designed around the actual traffic using the road.
Apartment and condominium properties require careful planning around resident access and parking availability.
Property managers should provide residents with clear access and parking instructions before work begins.
Retail and office properties need smooth entrances, clearly defined drive aisles and practical pedestrian access.
Work may be scheduled around business hours when site conditions allow.
Warehouses and industrial properties often support heavy trucks, trailers, forklifts and repeated loading activity.
Standard residential pavement construction is not suitable for repeated heavy commercial loads.
Churches and schools may need paving scheduled around services, classes, events and pedestrian activity.
Careful scheduling can help reduce disruption.
Pavement around drains may deteriorate because of settlement, water movement or failed supporting material.
The completed pavement should direct runoff toward the drain without creating new low spots.
Many commercial properties benefit from using asphalt and concrete together.
Using one contractor for asphalt and concrete work can simplify grading, drainage, elevations and transitions.
Sealcoating applies a protective coating over structurally stable asphalt.
Sealcoating may also restore a darker and more consistent driveway appearance.
It does not repair potholes, deep cracks, sinking pavement or base failure. Necessary repairs should be completed first.
Water is one of the most common causes of pavement deterioration.
Drainage improvements may include correcting slope, rebuilding low areas and repairing pavement around catch basins.
Asphalt resurfacing involves placing a new asphalt layer over prepared existing pavement.
Before resurfacing, damaged sections should be repaired and the existing pavement properly prepared.
Resurfacing should not be used to conceal severe settlement, widespread structural failure or major drainage problems.
Localized pavement damage does not always require complete parking lot replacement.
A professional inspection helps determine whether the damage is limited to the asphalt surface or extends into the supporting base.
A preventive maintenance plan can help property managers identify developing problems before they require major repairs.
Maintenance should be based on actual pavement condition and traffic use.
Water entering pavement cracks can weaken the base. When trapped moisture freezes and expands, existing cracks and potholes may worsen.
Proper installation, drainage and timely maintenance are important for pavement performance.
After paving, resurfacing or sealcoating, parking lot markings may need to be renewed.
The property owner should confirm that the planned layout meets applicable requirements before striping begins.

Commercial paving can affect customers, tenants, employees, deliveries and service vehicles.
When property conditions allow, work may be completed in phases.
Access requirements should be discussed before construction begins.
